• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we, in the Public Service, consider hon. Ojode's concern as a challenge which provides us with a good opportunity to work with Parliament on the said issues as well as on other strategic interventions that will transform the Public Service into a performance-based, professional and patriotic entity in its primary mandate of providing and facilitating quality, equitable and timely services to Kenyans. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government has taken steps to institutionalise research-based management within the Public Service and to enhance leadership and co-ordination of the Public Service Reform and Development Programme (PSRDP). To this ... view
• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: . Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, I beg to table a list of public servants working in Ministries, Departments and State Corporations as follows; Office of the President, Kenya Railways, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), the Cabinet Office, Ministry of State, for Public Service, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Finance and Telkom (K) Ltd. view
• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: In addition, similar information on other Ministries, State Corporations and Departments is available on request. We do not hide any information. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I trust that hon. Members will look at this list critically and submit the findings, observations and recommendations to my office to add value to the work my Ministry is doing in this regard. Thank you. view
• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very rare for Mr. Ojode to thank any person. I, therefore, thank him very much too! view
• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just laid some documents on the Table of this House, so that hon. Members would have an opportunity to scrutinise them and give their recommendations. I have noted what Mr. Ojode has said because, perhaps, it could be one of the recommendations. Since he has put it to me, I will take it up. Mr. Khamasi has come up with something on the Public Service Commission (PSC). It is true that the Commissioners are people with wealth of experience. In his own wisdom, His Excellency the President appointed them. view
• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Nevertheless, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Bill which I have just mentioned will address some of those issues. view
• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to respond to Mr. Syongo's concerns. First, when there is employment, we have directed the Public Service Commission (PSC) that they must ensure that they employ at least one person from every district. That is something that we, as Members of Parliament, need to counter-check if it does not happen that way. I am prepared to come in very strongly so that we advice the PSC. Mr. Mwandawiro's concern is about jobs. I would like to say that the Government is creating jobs. Perhaps tomorrow or next week, you will see advertisements for ... view
• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think it would be right if I comment on this letter tabled by Mr. M.Y. Haji. Indeed, Mr. Mr. M.Y. Haji, visited my office. We discussed with him the problems with employment in Ijara Constituency. He talked to the officers concerned and they agreed to act. He left my office a happy man. However, I do not live in Ijara Constituency. I would have expected Mr. M.Y. Haji to come back to me and tell me that nothing had been effected. view
• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the President's Speech. Before I do so, I would request that Mr. Ojode tables the list of those names which he has, so that, as the Minister of State for Public Service, perhaps I could scrutinise it carefully. view
• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will start with what is happening with the Public Service. There are quite a number of reforms that are taking place. Last year, we introduced the performance contracts for all our officers. That means that this Government is prepared to give Kenyans quality services. Indeed, I have to take this opportunity to apologise to hon. M.Y. Haji who is disappointed because his letters were not responded to. In accordance with service charters which we have released to all Ministries, letters are supposed to be responded to within seven days. Since he tabled those letters, I ... view
